A 9-month-old girl was rushed to a hospital in critical condition after falling from a balcony inside a downtown Savannah hotel Friday night.
The child had been propped on the fifth-floor inside balcony of the Hyatt Regency Savannah on West Bay Street when she slipped from her mother’s grip about 8:45 p.m. and fell, said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.
The girl was taken to Memorial University Medical Center in critical condition, Miller said Friday night.
Detectives were still investigating the matter Saturday, and police could not release any additional information on the case.
Miller said the girl and her family were visiting from out of town.
